Answer:

d The chemicals had to be applied to a plate, in the dark.

c The photograph had to be made and developed while the chemicals were still wet

Step-by-step explanation:

Darkrooms used red lighting to allow photographers to control light carefully, so that light-sensitive photographic paper would not become overexposed and ruin the pictures during the developing process

This meant that the photographer had to have a dark room with him, as well as various dangerous chemicals that were necessary for the development of the photo.
